Absolutely Irish! brings together the brightest stars of traditional Irish music for a once-in-a-lifetime concert that will leave folk music fans stunned by the virtuoso performances. Filmed live at the intimate Irish Arts Center in New York City's famed Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, Irish music impresario Mick Moloney presents three generations of brilliant musicians as they display their mastery on much-beloved jigs, reels, and airs, then rock the hall with contemporary takes on favorite old tunes.
